Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Pham Truong Giang thanked the people of Chile in general and Cerro Navia in particular for their warm feelings for President Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam during the past years, affirming that the embassy will continue coordinating with Chilean authorities and people to preserve and nurture the traditional friendship between the two countries.
The Governor of Cerro Navia expressed respect and admiration of Chileans to President Ho Chi Minh, as well as their affection for Vietnam. He emphasized that people of Cerro Navia appreciate the Vietnamese side’s attention to and support for renovation of the park.
In 1969, to show solidarity and support for the Vietnamese people's resistance war for national independence and respect for President Ho Chi Minh, a small park in Cerro Navia District was renamed Ho Chi Minh Park. Since then, the park has become a symbol of the traditional friendship between the two countries./.
